apping back to discedo/POSSIBLY OTHER PLACES?

[daddyslilpyro]

Say mun! It's been awhile! I never thought I'd see this place again, not with you behind the wheel, but I guess that's just the nature of things isn't it?

Well, let's not waste any time! Let's get down to business!

STAND BACK! IT'S TIME FOR SCIENCE!

Ha ha ha ha haaaa!

Well I guess you win points for not being a harlequin.

[jack_of_all]

Have trouble with one, I suppose? Does that also mean you don't enjoy parlor tricks?

[daddyslilpyro]

It's a long story.

[jack_of_all]

We've got nothing but time, right?

[daddyslilpyro]

"It's a long story" is code for "I'm not talking about it".

[jack_of_all]

I was afraid of that. How terribly boring!

[daddyslilpyro]

That's how the dice rolls, I guess.

[jack_of_all]

Speaking of...fancy a game of chance?

[daddyslilpyro]

Depends on the game. And the stakes.

[jack_of_all]

You're probably too smart for three-card-Monte, I'm guessing, so...How about a game of Cee-lo? Simple dice game. Stakes...just a little cash. If you don't have cash, food or drink works, as well. I'm not picky about the stakes.

[daddyslilpyro]

Dunno how good my money is to you.

[jack_of_all]

Money is money. I'm sure I could find something to do with it. [Like pawn it off on gullible people.]

[daddyslilpyro]

Alright. You're on.

[jack_of_all]

[He produces one small bowl and three dice from his pockets.]

Do you know how to play or do I need to tell you?

[daddyslilpyro]

How had can it be?

[jack_of_all]

Well, then, I'll throw first.

[And the three dice landed in the cup. 3-6-6.]

Ooh, that's gonna be a hard one to beat.

[daddyslilpyro]

Just hand over the dice.

-Because the first thing she'll check is if they're loaded.

[jack_of_all]

[He picks the dice out of the cup and hands them to her. If they were loaded, well, they're not anymore. He's gotten good at sleight-of-hand -- good for him, bad for everyone else.]

So impatient.

[daddyslilpyro]

Patience is immaterial to a time traveler.

-She shakes the dice, giving a toss.-

1-1-4.

[jack_of_all]

Oh, you won this one, I see. [He puts a few dollars on the table and picks the dice up.] Luck's with you tonight, I think. Care to go again?

[daddyslilpyro]

Keep your money. I can't use it.

[jack_of_all]

[He jams it back into his pocket. Well then, more for him.]

You didn't answer my question, though.

[daddyslilpyro]

Eh, sure. Why not? It's a fun little game.

[jack_of_all]

[Well, no sense in holding back now. He hands the dice to Lucca.]

Go ahead, roll first since you won.

[daddyslilpyro]

-She gives a quick shake before tossing.-

4-4-5
